long, bronzy-red in autumn. Grows 6 to 8 ft. high. Succeeds

THE SPIREAS 
Justly popular for their hardiness, thriftiness, profusion of 
bloom, graceful habit, neat foliage, and general freedom from 
serious insects and diseases. The early blooming Spireas, 
after the bush attains good size, should have some old wood 
removed to the ground each year immediately after bloom- 
ing. Prune late blooms in early spring, before growth starts. 
When neglected for years it may be necessary to prune al- 
most the entire plant to the ground in early spring. They suc- 
ceed in any moderately moist lawn soil of average fertility. 
Spirea Anthony Waterer 
Small five-petaled rosy-crimson flowers in dense flat clus- 
ters cover the 3 ft. bush in early June. If the flowers are cut 
off as they fade it blooms at intervals until fall. Dwarf, com- 
pact, upright habit; rather fine textured deep green foliage. 
Excellent for foundation and border plantings, and in front 
of taller shrubs. Succeeds with sun half the day. Prune part 
of the old wood out each spring.

Similar to Anthony Waterer but more vigorous and a little 
taller, attaining 4 ft.; broader, darker leaves, in autumn over- 
laid with bronzy-red. Prune same as Anthony Waterer. See

Spirea Golden; Spirea opulifolia aurea; Physocarpus aureus 
Perhaps unsurpassed for golden foliage color in early 
spring, becoming bronze-yellow in early summer, green in 
latter summer, furnishing a variety of colors during the sea- 
son. Flowers inconspicuous, white, five-petaled, 3 in. across 
in flat clusters 1 to 2 in. across in early May. Grows 5 to 7 
ft. high. A sunny situation with pruning each spring gives 
better spring color.

Spirea Thunbergi; Thunberg’s Spirea 
Its graceful spreading and arching branches 3 to 5 ft. high 
are clothed with many small, pure white five-petaled flowers 
3, in. across in clusters of three to six in March, before the 
leaves are developed; leaves very narrow, | to 134 in. long, 
light green. The fine feathery foliage makes Thunbergi suit- 
able for nearby plantings where shrubs of coarse texture 
would be out of place. Better if pruned some each year after 
blooming.

Spirea Van Houttei, a fountaln of white in May. 
Spirea Van Houttei; Van Houtte’s Bridal Wreath 
A fountain of white in late April and May, its arching 
branches covered with clusters of small five-petaled flowers 
one-third in. across; the graceful drooping habit and neat 
dense foliage, 34 to 134 in. long, make it attractive through- 
out the season; excellent for grouping, as a background for 
lower shrubs, a foreground for taller shrubs, a screen, or as 
a specimen plant. Each spring, after blooming, prune some 
of the old canes to the ground. Grows 6 to 7 ft. high.
